Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner is familiar with Orton, who completed 236 of 389 passes for 3,090 yards with 31 touchdowns and 5 interceptions at Purdue last year, from their days in the Big Ten. With Orton in the fold, first-round running back Cedric Benson is now the Bears' only unsigned draft pick.
